    Oh yah, a little more about my XJ. I used to work at a HD stealership, guy bought a brand new HD and said whoever paid off his bill at the yamaha dealership could have his old bike. Turns out the bike is cherry, aluminum all nice, no rust, good paint 32k on the clock and the bill is $63. So i ended up picking it up that day. And now im doing a top end on it (base gaskets were leaking like a siv.) I got a MAc 4:1 for it, Dynojet jet kit, and K&N Pod filters.

    Welcome Two Wheel ...

    Step right in ... be sure to close the door once you get inside, we sure don't need any more snow haha

    Lived in Maine for five lovely years as a kid.
    Saw enough of the white goo to last a lifetime.

    Strap on a pair of skis and let er rip.
    Vermont's a fine place

    I picked up my XJ 650J back in 2005. It 13500 miles on it and had been sitting in a dark dank dirt floor cellar. I cleaned it changed the oil,and brake fluid.Now it's got over 33000 mi and it's become my all time favorite.
